WTF is this crap?

[jberryhill]

Who thought this was a good idea?

Why, on God's green planet is this going on?

[In_The_Wind]

1. Huh?

[warrprayer]

9. We've got

To stop meeting like this.

[In_The_Wind]

21. Seriously ... Maybe I'm in real trouble here.

Are you following me around?

[In_The_Wind]

48. Very interesting choice of words.

lovefest ... ... ... but they called it the right name.

[warrprayer]

2. WTF? Indeed!

How is this even possible?

[jberryhill]

7. That's a good question too

I mean, really?

[elleng]

3. Tell us to what/which crap you refer, jberryhilll,

and we will do our best to solve the mystery for you.

[whathehell]

4. What are you talking about?

[babylonsister]

5. I agree! nt

[MineralMan]

6. Hard to say, really.

But crap is crap...

[merrily]

8. Whatever is going on, I demand it stop immediately and the perps be rounded up before dawn.

Because fsck that shet.

[jberryhill]

13. How long is it going to go on?

[merrily]

16. Um, my post specified an outside time limit. Are you being deliberately obtuse, just to tick me off?

Again?

Now, I demand you stop, too.

[jberryhill]

38. No, ticking you off is a bonus

Collateral damage, if you will

[merrily]

41. LOL!

[ProfessorGAC]

70. 17 Months, 11 Days, 9 Hours and 47 Minutes

Hope that clears things up.

[jberryhill]

90. The worst part was that I had it on TiVo and didn't realize I could just skip through it

[RandiFan1290]

10.

[guillaumeb]

11. I should probably alert on this.

Once I decide what exactly has offended me.

Any significance to the "red" cow? Is that alertable?

[merrily]

42. If it's a Red Bull, it could be advertising spam. Not sure about a red cow.

[guillaumeb]

59. When I was young, my mother cooked Spam.

I am not sure which was the worse, the salt or the taste.

[dixiegrrrrl]

49. the red cow is an Illuminati plot

or Zionist plot, I can never keep them straight
( serioulsy, google "red cow"

[guillaumeb]

58. So, is it a heifer or a bull?

Much excitement has been generated by the arrival of a "Red Heifer"1 in Israel. The birth of a red heifer (cow) on a farm in the religious youth village of Kfar Hasidim (near Haifa) has excited sectors in the Israeli religious community.

http://www.khouse.org/articles/1997/15/

[dixiegrrrrl]

80. Isn't that a hoot?

Hmmmm. the article refers to "the coming year of 1999" so I wonder if all was well then.

I have read recently that farmers in Israel are trying to breed a "spotless" red cow herd..the color is quite rare.

[hifiguy]

95. Nope. It's Project X.

[IADEMO2004]

12. It's Leap Year. What did you expect?

[merrily]

31. Excellent point. Someone should make sure primary season never falls during Leap Year.

It's silliness squared.

[truebluegreen]

45. fwiw, primary season always falls during Leap Year...

as if primary season wasn't long enough already.

[merrily]

46. Thanks. I tried to reply in the spirit of the thread.

[truebluegreen]

83. sorry sorry sorry

I am way too literal at times.

[merrily]

84. Me, too! Several people, on and off the internet have pointed it out to me and I agree.

Nothing to be so apologetic about anyway. Not as though you kicked me in the shins intentionally.

[truebluegreen]

86. ...

[csziggy]

14. What crap? The competing GOP "town halls"?

I'm watching David Attenborough on Nature talking about a new dinosaur species. That is more enlightening and relevant that the craziness of this year's GOP candidates.

[jberryhill]

17. You mean changing to CNN won't help?

Jesus

[csziggy]

24. No - the powers that be want to be sure that we don't alternatives in M$M

I spent much of the afternoon with Al Jazeera on. Now I need less news and more info.

Next on NOVA - The Iceman Reborn. New information on Otzi. Still more relevant than what the cable news channels have on.

[jberryhill]

27. Oh, the iceman thing is on?

Thanks! I believe you have fixed the problem.

[csziggy]

29. Glad to help!

I think this is a new show about Otzi.

He was stalked, attacked and left to die alone. Murdered more than 5,000 years ago, Otzi the Iceman is Europe’s oldest known natural mummy. Miraculously preserved in glacial ice, his remarkably intact remains continue to provide scientists, historians, and archeologists with groundbreaking discoveries about a crucial time in human history. But in order to protect him from contamination, this extraordinary body has been locked away, out of reach, in a frozen crypt—until now. NOVA joins renowned artist and paleo-sculptor Gary Staab as he has been granted rare access into the Iceman’s frozen lair. Gary has been charged with creating an exact replica of the mummy, which scientists and the public alike can then study up close and in person. As we see the Iceman reborn from 3D printing, resin, clay and paint, new revelations about Otzi’s life and legacy come to light, including surprising secrets hidden in his genetic code.

92. You wanna know what really sucks

I didn't realize I was watching on TiVo and was an hour behind the actual time anyway.

[csziggy]

93. LOL!

I thought I was the only one who did that! Just think of all the crap you could have missed.

[jberryhill]

97. It hit me when I went looking for the iceman thing

But I'll be picking that one up tonight. So it's all good.

[csziggy]

100. I recorded it and the one about the mammoth site that followed

But in the middle of the night. Good thing it was already set to record - I got calls during both and missed big chunks.

I've been watching a lot of shows that collected on my DVR over the last year. This weekend I think I will watch the most recent season of Dr Who - I missed most of those. My DVR is acting up so I am trying to clear off shows in case the company has to replace it.

[Skittles]

15. you want I should kick your WTF'ing ass, jberryhill?

LEMME AT YOU!!!

[Trajan]

19. +1,000,000 ... nt

[pintobean]

18. Well, until they make it right

I hope they never sleep at night. They better make some changes, and do it soon.

[Go Vols]

54. I don't think they really care

[2naSalit]

50. I love that sign!

If I ever go back out on the streets to protest, that's what my sign will say.

So true and very funny too.

[deutsey]

22. As a wise DU'er once observed

Call fucking Congress, right now!

[KansDem]

35. Actually, I think it was "Call Congress, right fucking now!!"

But then, I might be wrong...

[deutsey]

57. You say "fucking now", I say "fucking Congress"

Let's call the whole thing off.

[KansDem]

They would have a better idea.

[warrprayer]

36. WTF, OVER!

[Dr. Strange]

37. mainly because half the people I was with believed it until I explained the situation to them

Know what I'm saying?

[Iggo]

69. I think you're saying that I'm due beer and travel expenses and many experiences.

Which is totally true.

[Dr. Strange]

43. Skatalogical eschatology?

Now there's a major that going to pay the bills...

[jberryhill]

44. Is that one big with stoners?

[CoffeeCat]

51. Are you talking about the New Kids on the Block touring again?

Yes, their fanbase wears bifocals now, but that's their jam.

We must respect that.

[NBachers]

52. I thought it might get better, but it just keeps getting worser and worser.

Here's a perfect example: Click through 'till you reach the full atrocity!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7621674

[jberryhill]

55. It's like a mystical portal

[Initech]

53. CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!!

[Rex]

56. It is crap, it is all crap just crap and more crap

never ending crap. Money. You know how controversy gets the ratings up which means more revenue. They want it, you can tell by now.

[KamaAina]

60. Srsly. I mean, really, kale?!

Mickey D's found a way to screw up kale!

[jberryhill]

61. Yeah, that too, WTF is up with that?

[KamaAina]

62. I hear you.

I mean, really, if you're going to screw up someone's performance at the Grammys, why did it have to be Adele's?!

[KamaAina]

63. I totally agree.

The German shepherd at Westminster was totally robbed. What do they think this is, boxing?

[lumberjack_jeff]

64. Am I pondering what you're pondering?

I think so Brain... but, burlap chafes me so.

[jberryhill]

66. Are you suggesting what I think you are?

[lumberjack_jeff]

67. Uh, I think so Brain... but this time you wear the tutu. n/t

[Dr. Strange]

109. I think so, lumberjack_jeff, ...

[madinmaryland]

71. Call your Congresscritter RIGHT F'ING NOW!!!!

[0rganism]

72. yeah, sorry about that

i meant to clean it up earlier, but there are some internal dependencies that need to be resolved before i get rid of it entirely

[TBF]

73. If you're going to eat at Olive Garden

you should be prepared for these things.

[hifiguy]

74. Don't know, but I will take a cheese steak wit and wiz

and a pint of Guinness. Gonna stick around and see WTF is happening.

[KamaAina]

75. Since when are you in Philly?

[hifiguy]

77. I am not now, but there's a place in Minneapolis

that makes a cheesesteak that is utterly indistinguishable from the best ones I've had in Philly, which would be Tony Luke Junior's. Looked for 15 years before finding a place than makes a REAL cheese steak out here in da Midwest, ya know.

You wouldn't think it would be that hard - a good, fresh roll - softish in the middle with a bit of crustiness, thinly sliced, gently seasoned high quality rib-eye seared on a hot grill with some onions, a dollop of Cheez Whiz and, if you want them, some thinly sliced green peppers grilled with the onions.

You'd think it was goddamn neurosurgery given how hard it is to find a decent one outside of Philly.

[KamaAina]

79. And you order Philly-style like "wiz wit'"?

edit: There are cheesesteak places all over the Bay Area, too, but AFAIK, they don't bother with the Philly lingo.

[hifiguy]

81. Always. I worked a project in downtown Philly for eight months in '00-01.

The locals on the project told me to avoid Geno's and Pat's and go to Tony Luke's and to order "wit and Wiz." I did.

They also told me to order pizza from Lombardi's (Philly location now closed, NY still very much in business). The NYC Lombardi's was the first pizzeria in the US and the Philly Lombardi's used the same recipes, ingredients and the same style of coal-fired 950-degree (!) oven. When the gods on the Roman equivalent of Olympus got tired of ambrosia, they sent out to Lombardi's for a Special. Fresh mozzarella bufala, Italian tomatoes and pepperoni straight from a Philly salumeria. Best Pizza Ever.

[jberryhill]

99. Philadelphia is a lot more like it is now than it used to be

[KatyMan]

76. Agree

82. Well, Steve couldn't figure it out ...

Lead, follow, or get out of the way.

[OriginalGeek]

91. It's beer-thirty somewhere...

[hifiguy]

94. Even Vince Lombardi is curious.

[Iggo]

96. No, seriously.

What the fuck is this crap?!?!?!?

[jberryhill]

98. Good to know you noticed it too

For a while I thought I was the only one who thinks what I do, but then I quit thinking that.

[Lint Head]

103. I'm beside myself!
